Ofblue Boat Charter - Alquiler de barcos en Estepona

Ofblue is a charter company based at the Estepona Marina that offers private and personalized experiences for sailing along the coast of Estepona, Marbella, Puerto Banús, and Sotogrande. Its philosophy is true private charter: no sharing the boat with strangers, with flexible itineraries and a captain who adapts to whatever the group wants to do.

Fleet

Ofblue has been expanding its fleet with boats designed for small groups:

• “Legacy”: an 8-meter, fully equipped boat, ideal for groups of up to 8 people. This is the flagship vessel and departs from the Estepona Marina itself.
• Monterey 180: a 6-meter boat, perfect for couples or small groups of up to 4 people seeking a more intimate experience.

Both boats are equipped with a canopy, a swim ladder, a freshwater shower, a refrigerator, a Bluetooth sound system, and a complete safety system.

Included Experiences

Ofblue charters include everything you need to enjoy a worry-free day:

• Professional Skipper: All charters include a captain, allowing the group to relax without worrying about navigation.
• Drinks and Snacks: Soft drinks, water, beer, and snacks on board are included in the price.
• Water sports equipment: stand-up paddleboard (SUP), floats, Sunchill water hammock, and basic snorkeling gear.
• Flexible itinerary: the captain suggests a route, but the group decides. You can stop at coves, look for dolphins, anchor to go for a swim, or simply cruise along.

Types of Trips

• 2-hour charter: a tour along the Estepona coast with a stop for swimming. Ideal for a first-time experience or for those short on time.
• 4-hour charter (half-day): allows you to explore more of the coast, make several stops, and enjoy the water sports equipment at your own pace.
• 6–8-hour charter (full day): the most comprehensive experience. You can sail to Puerto Banús, Marbella, or the coves around Casares, with multiple stops and time to eat on board.
• Sunset: late-afternoon trips to watch the sunset from the sea, with drinks included.

Dolphin Watching

The coast of Estepona is one of the best areas in the western Mediterranean for spotting dolphins in the wild. Ofblue’s trips typically pass through the areas where they congregate, and the captain knows the most common spots. We cannot guarantee a sighting, but the probability is very high, especially during the spring and summer months.

Season and Schedule

Ofblue operates from April through October, daily from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Trips are scheduled based on availability and sea conditions. During peak season (July–August), it’s recommended to book several days in advance.
